Former Formula 1 driver Nico Rosberg believes that the prospect of Max Verstappen retiring from the sport at a young age is “possible.”
After retiring at 31 years of age in 2016, Rosberg is now a businessman and analyst for Sky Sports F1. He believes that Max Verstappen, who won his fourth straight title at 27 in 2024, could follow a similar path. Verstappen won his first title in 2021 and further two in dominant fashion, securing his fourth in 2024 amid tough competition with Lando Norris.
With 63 wins, 49 podium finishes, and 40 pole positions, Verstappen is already considered one of the greatest F1 drivers of recent times. He has hinted towards the possibility of an early retirement and racing in another motorsport category. Rosberg, reflecting on his own retirement after winning the championship in 2016, has no regrets and believes he made the right decision to leave at the peak of his career.
